probably valve (valva) but is there a more appropriate word?
Se disturbato è in grado di “nuotare” per brevi periodi sbattendo le valve. Per sfuggire all’attacco dei predatori gli individui giovani, dotati di capacità natatorie più limitate degli adulti, si attaccano alle valve superiori di questi ultimi.

I think you are talking about a mollusc.
a mollusc has got 2 valves (bivalve).

mantle: a thin membrane covering the inside of the valves, the mantle protects the mollusc\'s organs and secretes the shell.

this site ois very interesting, have a look:

SWIMMING BIVALVES = A few species can swim weakly by clapping their valves, notably the scallops. Valves are roughly circular with squared lugs either side of the short hinge. Valves open to 30( by a powerful internal ligament and snap shut expelling water from the mantle. The mantle opens all round and is edged with light sensitive organs or \'eyes\' that sparkle, and a curtain-like fold (the velum), which can direct currents for forward or backward movement
